Geography

Greenhouse emissions of tar sand, per barrel, are more than conventional crude oil. This is because, it takes more energy to extract the bitumen from the tar sand and more so, to convert the bitumen to usable oil taking up even more energy. This energy is usually derived from burning natural gas.  Emissions by tar sand are approximately 100 kg CO2 per barrel while conventional oil is approximately 30 kg CO2 per barrel.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

B. atmosphere: because the ash blocked more radiation than normal, not allowing it to reach the surface

Explanation:

The volcanoes are one of the major factors that shape the climate on Earth. Their influence can be more moderate and gradual, or it can very big and abrupt. The large volcanic eruptions manage to cause changes in the global climate very quickly. The reason for this is that they have big influence on the atmosphere. By releasing lot of ashes and small particles into the atmosphere, a layer of them is formed around the Earth. This layer had greater albedo, thus it is reflecting the sunlight instead of letting it go through. This causes rapid drop in the global temperatures, and as was the case in 1815, it resulted in a year without summer. If the volcanic eruption is very big and comes from a super-volcano, than it can have much longer impact, lasting for decades or even centuries.
